Benaiah

(3 syl.), in the satire of Absalom and Achitophel, by
Dryden and Tate, is meant for George Edward Sackville, called General
Sackville, a gentleman of family, and a zealous partisan of the Duke of
York. Benaiah was captain in David's army, and was made by Solomon
generalissimo. (1 Kings ii. 35.)

Nor can Benaiah's worth forgotten lie,
Of steady soul when public storms were high;
Whose conduct, while the Moors fierce onsets made,
Secured at once our honour and our trade.
